Jannik Sinner defeated Daniil Medvedev in the final, 7–6(8–6), 7–6(7–4) to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2026 Indian Wells Open. It was his sixth Masters 1000 title and 25th career title overall. He did not lose a set en route to the title, becoming the first man in history to win two consecutive ATP Masters 1000 tournaments without dropping a set.[1] Sinner was the third—and youngest—man (after Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic) to win all six hardcourt Masters 1000 events, since the series began in 1990.

Jack Draper was the defending champion,[2] but lost in the quarterfinals to Medvedev.[3]

Carlos Alcaraz became the youngest man to reach five consecutive semifinals at a single Masters 1000 tournament, surpassing the previous record held by Rafael Nadal at the Monte-Carlo Masters, and was the third—and youngest—man (after Nadal and Djokovic) to reach five consecutive Indian Wells semifinals.[4] Alexander Zverev was the fifth man to reach the semifinals of all nine Masters 1000 tournaments, and the first player outside of the Big Four to do so.[5]
